Journal Entry for January 25, 2007 Mood
Thursday, January 25, 2007
It's been a busy week, so I haven't had time to check in. My husband started going into kidney failure last weekend, which we didn't know until Monday when he was admitted to the hospital. He came home today, but is extremely weak and tired. It appears the doctor was able to stabilize the kidney, no dialysis was recommended, but he has to change his diet drastically to protect his remaining kidney. I pray he can bounce back from this episode. He seems weaker now than after his kidney and adrenal surgery. While in the hospital, he received IV fluids to rehydrate his body, and also Aredia infusion to drive the calcium back into the bones.

    Geeze Trishkc, Take care. My prayers are with you both. I wondered about Dave's diet too. No one has said anything about watching certain foods. I hope you have some good days here. I read your journal and it is so much how my husband is. He is a large guy too and just feels so fatigued all of the time.
